    I don't know if I'm a "macro shooter," but I did just buy a Canon 100mm macro. . . .

    If price is no object, I'd get the Nikon lens. Of the two, I'd go with the 105, both because of the increased working distance and for the VR.

    That's my 0.02.

    I do have to say though that, having used one for a weekend (rented), the Nikkor 105 VR is a BEAST of a heavy lens.
